Parker v. Kenyon

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Parker v. Kenyon, 112 Mass. 264 (Mass. 1873)
Gray

Parker v. Kenyon

Opinion of the Court

Gray, C. J.

The mistake in the date of the summons was a defect in the form of the process necessary to bring the defendant before the court; and upon a motion to dismiss for that cause, the decision of the judge presiding in the Superior Court is final. Gen. Sts. c. 115, § 7.

The evidence excluded was immaterial. The trial on the indictment was res inter alios, to which the plaintiff was not a party. And the issue of larceny on that trial was different from the issue of conversion in this action; the one involved a question of intent; the other might be under a claim of right.

Exceptions overruled.
